You should not need a special driver to use the P2725DE with Linux Mint. Have you tested the P2725DE with Linux Mint and found issues?

Well, that's interesting!
Somehow I messed up logging on & thought that I had to start from scratch. It appears not so!
I don't have Linux right now. I have a Mac & I'm interested in switching to Linux Mint.
I have ordered a Dell P2725DE from Best Buy & it has been delivered to the store.
I've spent hours researching the different distros & chosen Mint.

Linux Mint should use standard EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) communication through your HDMI, DisplayPort, or USB-C cable to detect your monitor’s native resolution and refresh rate automatically. Also, this appears to be a good Linux Mint forum to ask other user with Dell monitors.

@DELL-ChrisM2
It makes sense for a manufacturer to include drivers in the kernel. That way one doesn't have to hunt for drivers & install them.
When the kernel is updated, the driver can also be updated.
I reckon that you've answered my questions.
Thank you!
